First off, I'm an officer in the CF and I didn't require calculus at all, nor do I from day to day. Never took it in high school. Then again, everyone here has made good points about it - and of course, what you need is dependant on your occupation within the military, as well. An Artillery Officer or any of the Engineering trades probably needs it more than I do, for example.
I'm ASSUMING you're trying to go infantry. It's certainly not a requirement, but any knowledge is good knowledge. You never know what might come in handy in the future, and the point made about the military wanting people who challenge themselves, rather than doing the bare minimum, is an extremely good one.
I also have a feeling that once you're in the CF and start making Corporal pay, you will have a change of heart about wanting to start over again in the USMC... It will be more trouble than it's worth and you will be taking a HUGE paycut.
